August 31, 2001 — MGM hopes for a Number 1:
This weekend sees MGM's United Artists specialty unit unspool horror picrure ``Jeepers Creepers,'' the first of several planned co-productions with MGM board member Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope, in 2,944 theaters. And Lions Gate finally releases ``O'' -- an ``Othello'' update whose release has been delayed since 1999 over concerns about its youth-violence content -- in some 1,434 venues.
``I'm very hopeful that we will be No. 1 this weekend,'' MGM/UA marketing and distribution president Bob Levin said of prospects for ``Jeepers Creepers.'' ``The movie is tracking well, and (horror) movies tend to undertrack.''
